Starting as a ritual commemorating summer solstice, Burning Man Festival is now a phenomenon that draws in over 65,000 people to the Black Rock Desert each year.

Now, for the first time in the history of the festival, organisers have sanctioned Canadian writer and photographer NK Guy to release images of the astounding sculptures and installations created for the festival over the years, collected in a book – Art of Burning Man – published by Taschen.

“My book celebrates the artists who have created some of the event’s best work. The festival is known as a place of free self-expression in a barren desert. But over the last 16 years, I’ve witnessed it become the largest show of interactive art on the planet. Welcome to the art of Burning Man.” – NK Guy

“The Art of Burning Man” runs until 10th September at Lights of Soho, with further exhibitions and events to be announced. The book, Art of Burning Man by NK Guy, will be available for purchase at Lights of Soho, £34.99
